# Ideogram 4.5 — Precise AI image editing and generation Ideogram publishes a public search API over its indexed pages; the guide is at https://ideogram.ai/agents/agent-access.

It is available in the Ideogram App, MCP, and API, with four quality modes and native 2K resolution. [Try Ideogram 4.5](https://ideogram.ai/create/image/generate/ideogram-4-5) · [Build with the API](https://ideogram.ai/models/4.5/#api) ![Hand-drawn elevation to photoreal render: original image](https://storage.googleapis.com/ideogram-static/website/images/1ff4ace5011a9883.webp) *Featured example: Architecture.* With each edit, competing image models can introduce artifacts, pixel shifts, and color changes. Ideogram 4.5 is designed to eliminate artifact buildup so you can continue refining an image over multiple turns while keeping the rest of the image intact. ## Compare models across multi-turn edits We compare the same edits across 14 turns using Ideogram 4.5, GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst, Nano Banana Pro, and Nano Banana 2. In this comparison, GPT Image and Nano Banana outputs become unusable within a few edits, while Ideogram 4.5 remains clean through successive edits. ## Precision for every kind of edit Ideogram 4.5 supports targeted changes while preserving the rest of an image. Our examples cover: ### Color and lighting Refine colors, lighting, and product or scene appearance. ### Text modification Modify or translate text in images, including: - Coffee brand system translated to Japanese - Bakery marquee translated to French - Market-stall chalkboard translated to English - Wine-bar sign translated to French - Restaurant chalkboards translated to English - Web banner translated to French ### Product photography Edit product imagery for items such as leather duffel bags, pour-over sets, retro two-slice toasters, mechanical keyboards, ear stacks, and wind-up tin robots. See prompts and before-and-after examples in our [product photo editing guide](https://ideogram.ai/blog/ideogram-4-5-product-photo-editing/). ### Interior design Explore room transformations such as bedroom to boho, living room to Parisian, living-room refreshes, living room to Art Deco, kitchen to mid-century, and living room to Japandi. ### Architecture Examples include a Fogo Island studio, a Swiss farmhouse transformed into a mountain guesthouse, a storefront rebrand, a disused brick building transformed into a loft conversion, a Queen Anne Victorian transformed into a painted lady, and red barns transformed into a wedding venue. ### Restore old photos Restore and reinterpret historical photographs, including a decorated carnival tram, a machine shop from around 1910, a historical village scene, Seattle harbor from around 1920, Boyd’s store from the 1910s, and a 1920s wedding photo. ### Sketch to image Turn sketches into visualizations such as an architect’s house elevation to a real-estate photograph, an urban sketch to a street visualization, a pen drawing of a city gate to a historic townscape, a pencil still life to a home photograph, a skyscraper concept rendering to an architectural photograph, and a pencil violin still life to a music photograph. ### Style reference Use visual references including Greek black-figure pottery, Balinese narrative drawing, Mayan textile weaving, Beatrix Potter illustration, *The Moon* tarot illustration, and Klimt’s *The Kiss*. ### Reframe Reframe poster designs including *After Form*, *Raw Concrete*, *Total Eclipse*, *Paris 1937*, *AL ONE*, and *Sunday Ramen*. ### Depth to image Examples include yoga on the beach, a potted plant and nest, a potter’s hands, a Jack Russell terrier, a coyote in a meadow, and a Georgian brick hall. ## Edit at any resolution We let you edit high-resolution images without first downsizing them. Ideogram 4.5 preserves the edges of an edited crop so you can stitch it back into the original image. You can create new colorways or repair a detail while keeping the surrounding image sharp and untouched, including for close-ups and large-format print. The demonstrated source image is **4,016 × 6,016 pixels (24.2 MP)**. ![Full campaign image before the handbag colorway edit](https://storage.googleapis.com/ideogram-static/website/images/2a169c24c63b98bc.webp) *Full image before the edit.* ![Zoomed handbag and surrounding edit boundaries before the colorway edit](https://storage.googleapis.com/ideogram-static/website/images/afeb01087532bf24.webp) *Zoomed detail showing edit boundaries and the surrounding original.* ## Build with Ideogram 4.5 through the API Ideogram 4.5 is available through two endpoints: - `POST /v2/image/generate/ideogram-4-5` — [Generate API reference](https://developer.ideogram.ai/api-reference/images/generate/ideogram-4-5) - Generates new images from a prompt and up to **5 optional reference images**. - `POST /v2/image/precise-edit/ideogram-4-5` — [Precise Edit API reference](https://developer.ideogram.ai/api-reference/images/precise-edit/ideogram-4-5) - Changes part of an existing image while leaving the rest untouched. Both endpoints offer four quality modes. | Quality | Generate (prompt only) | Generate (with references) | Precise Edit | |---|---:|---:|---:| | Very low | Not available | $0.008 | $0.008 | | Low | $0.03 | $0.03 | $0.03 | | Medium | $0.06 | $0.06 | $0.06 | | High | $0.10 | $0.22 | $0.22 | Each image has a fixed price. The price does not change with prompt length, number of reference images, or output resolution, and no subscription is required.

The intended result is that the requested area changes while the rest of the image remains intact. --- [Read this page’s summary](https://ideogram.ai/agents/api/public/v1/page-tldr?url=https%3A%2F%2Fideogram.ai%2Fmodels%2F4.5%2F&trace=t_380edc68d53d) ## Ask a follow-up about this page Need a more specific answer?
